Supporters of the protesters counter that France's cultural inheritance is one of negotiating sovereign disputes through diplomacy, not funding distant wars that drain the nation's own patrimony.
Supporters of the Paris protesters argue that continued Ukraine aid lacks a clear legal mandate from French voters, so elected officials should put military and financial support to a direct democratic vote.
Supporters of the Paris protesters argue that French taxpayers' money sent to Ukraine should require a direct public vote or parliamentary approval, since elected lawmakers alone cannot bind citizens to open-ended foreign spending.
Supporters of Protesters against Ukraine aid counter that the UN Charter also binds states to peaceful dispute resolution, so France's arms transfers arguably escalate rather than uphold international law.
Supporters of the Paris protesters argue that opposing Ukraine aid is a lever: forcing the French government to split its resources wins domestic leverage, and Philippot's rally shows that pressure can be organized into votes.
Supporters of the Paris protesters argue that, as Philippot's rally shows, opposing Ukraine aid is leverage: they position the movement as a bargaining chip, betting French leaders will trade continued funding for concessions on domestic priorities.

Supporters of the Protesters against Ukraine aid, led by Florian Philippot, argue that backing the war contradicts the Christian call to be peacemakers, citing Matthew 5:9.
Supporters of Protesters against Ukraine aid counter that scripture commands peacemaking, not arms: "Blessed are the peacemakers," so funding war risks the innocent rather than shielding them.
